Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.
The charge relates to an incident which occurred after the Midlands club drew 2-2 with Newcastle United on 28 October.
“It’s alleged that his language towards a match official in the tunnel after the final whistle was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting,” said the FA.
Hobbs has until Monday, 6 November to respond to the charge.
Newcastle were awarded a controversial penalty in the draw at Molineux when Hwang Hee-chan was deemed to have fouled Fabian Schar, before Magpies striker Callum Wilson scored from the spot to put his side 2-1 up.
Anthony Taylor was the referee for the game, with Jarred Gillett the video assistant referee.
“I thought it was a terrible on-field decision and I thought it was unbelievably surprising that it wasn’t overturned,” said Wolves boss Gary O’Neil after the game.
“More disappointment. I feel like I waste my time speaking [to the officials] so I will stop speaking to them.
“Until they improve the level of what they produce, I have no time for them.”
